Okay people of CoSo I need some advice, please & thank you in advance!😅
My mom just had her Total Knee Replacement surgery. She's got the walker & a few things the Red Cross are loaning her, but it's not been enough. She is in tears from the pain frequently & I need some ideas for affordable solutions to some of her problems. She struggles lifting her leg to get into & out of bed when I'm at work. She's using a cane upside down to lift her foot, but it's bad with her arthritis in her hands.

@lacuda have you consulted with an Occupational Therapist and a Home & Community Care worker?They can help with equipment, organizing home visits and direct you to the other supports, services and workers you need to make it work for your mom.
@Zevon I'm not sure if we have those here. Medical anything on Vancouver Island is really hard to get without massive waiting lines. The surgery happened short notice as she took a cancellation spot from FOMO and we had nothing prepared. They prescribed her tramadol and told her to watch for a fever. It's been like flying blind this past week.
